Blessing Day

Sunday was the big day. We had so many family members come and everything was just perfect. Emily and I worked hard the day before getting all of the yummy food ready. (Honestly could NOT have done everything without her!) We made chicken salad, eclairs, frog eye salad, spinach strawberry salad, veggies, cookies and more. Emily painted me the most beautiful picture with Anna's name and we ended up hanging it on the wall behind everything. It was absolutely beautiful and brought everything together so well.


I made some pretty cute blessing dress napkins too. It's all about the details!
I also made some cute little flower bags with mints as a little thank-you for coming gift.



My sister took some beautiful pictures of our sweet girl. She is getting so GOOD at photography! My heart just melts looking at my darling little girl.





 I LOVE this one. It's like she's saying, "Yep! It's MY day today!"
I sure didn't take very many pictures with my phone darn it. Too busy running around making sure the food was ready and everything.



Nate gave Anna such a beautiful blessing. I'm so grateful for him and for the priesthood that he holds. I love that he has the opportunity to bless each of our children. Anna was promised and blessed with many things. It was a wonderful day and I am again so appreciative of all who came to share this special moment with us.

That is by far the fanciest blessing event I've ever seen! What a wonderful event to share with your family! And the baby/dress combo? Perfection!!
